Constructing Pb-O bonds to trigger efficient cross-scale charge transfer for high-performance electromagnetic wave absorption and multicolor conversion

The simultaneous achievement of controllable electromagnetic wave absorption and electrochromism through micro-nanostructure design holds significant importance for radar stealth and visible light compatibility in complex surveillance environments. However, the synergistic design of anion insertion/intercalation and dielectric loss coordination still face significant challenges. Herein, CPBs-VO NWs composites with excellent electromagnetic wave absorption and electrochromic performance are prepared by in situ growth of CsPbBr 3 quantum dots on the surface of V 2 O 5 nanowires leveraged by the chelation effect of Pb-O bonds. The loading concentration of CsPbBr 3 quantum dots on the surface of V 2 O 5 nanowires is designed to regulate the formation and breakdown of Pb-O bonds, facilitating the investigation of the energy transfer process at the interface. The analysis reveals that the formation of Pb-O bonds enhances electron transfer across multiscale heterogeneous interfaces, resulting in increased local charge density differences, polarization, and conductivity. Additionally, it aids in the valence state change of vanadium ions through bridging, thereby achieving efficient electromagnetic wave absorption and compatibility with electrochromic performance. This study provides an insight at the atomic-level into performance enhancement and compatibility of visible light and radar stealth by precisely controlling the interface sites.
